Chamber Chat: YMCA searching for volunteers for triathlon

We have a chamber member that has been in the thick of things in Moore Oklahoma. Kelly Wyskiel with 123 Barefoot Clinic has dedicated weeks of time helping victims, responders and even animals through the tornado.

Kelly is a member of the Oklahoma Trauma Response AcuTeam/ Acupuncturists Without Borders, and worked with VA relief, USAA, and DAV, basically running the veteran’s clinic out of the Wal-Mart parking lot. They treated almost four hundred people in the community!

Kelley’s clinic is located at 123 South Capital and offers   walk in community treatments will now be offered every Tuesday from 10am-630 pm.(yes, all day!) Kelley asks for a $10 donation for the acupuncture treatments, but no appointment is necessary. Anyone can walk in to the community room, sign in on the consent form and choose a zero-gravity lounger to relax for a 20 minute ear acupuncture (or more specific treatment if needed) session that relieves stress, lowers pain, improves mental focus, and helps you sleep better.  Kelley also takes appointments for the private treatment room on Tuesdays as well. For more information call 812-3374 or look online at www.123barefoot.com

The YMCA is actively looking for volunteers for several different areas of the First Capital Triathlon which is on July 20th. Last year’s event was a huge success! This year’s will be just as fun and exciting.  If you, family, friends, or staff is interested in helping, please let Ryan or Kristen at the YMCA know. They will need an email address, phone number, shirt size.  We also have sponsorships and advertising opportunities available for the event; call The Chamber for more information on how you can let hundreds of people learn about your business!  We expect that our registrations will nearly double this year!

We held a beginner computer class this week in our boardroom and now we are looking for people interested in a Quickbooks 2013 class. If you would like to take a class covering different aspects of this program please call the chamber office at 282-1947.
